Qt Development Tooling & Tools – IDEs, Build, QML & Deployment (original) (raw)

Cross-Platform Build System

The most commonly used build system, CMake, provides a unified build process across desktop, mobile, and embedded platforms. Qt’s CMake integration provides Qt-specific functions, enabling it to automatically handle platform-specific settings, library paths, and dependencies.

Compilers Tied in with Kits

Qt provides kits to simplify cross-platform development. The kits define the used components, such as the target device, compiler, and development tooling, in a uniform manner.

Qt supports a wide variety of compilers for various targets, including embedded Linux and real-time operating systems. In addition, there’s a possibility to add your own compiler.
